Day 804. Happy Pi Day!

How exciting! I woke up to find some pie on my counter! I'm pretty sure my parents didn't know it was Pie Day, so this was quite the surprise. I actually don't really like pie all too much. Most filling is too thick for my liking.

Ok. I'm really, really sorry for the lack of updates! I've been very busy the last couple weeks. Something's going on every night. It's great :D

Today I got out of work an hour early due to a power outage. My laptop can't last 5 minutes without a charge. I decided to do some shopping for Chicago. I ended up with a new bra and undies from VS and a jacket and cute shoes from Rue21. I couldn't turn down the Rue21 stuff. It's not high quality, but it was only $20 total. So there.

Christie, Neil, Joel and I went to Olive Garden for dinner. It was Neil's and Joel's first time there! I got my fav dish: Braised Beef and Torts, sub portobello ravis for the torts (a big thanks to Oliver for the suggestion).

Then to HIV to pick up ingredients for apple pie (the drink). We went to Christie's to make it and played Settlers. Despite some minor setbacks, the night went well. The apple pie turned out dangerously delicious. I can't wait to consume it all on Saturday :D

I'm going to Chicago on Saturday... TO SEE THE OATMEAL <3 Gahh, I'm such a dork. We have a group of 8, and Neil's our soccer mom (he's driving the van). I don't know much about Chicago. Brian suggests going to Vision. We're getting tickets to go there. Should be interesting :) We also plan on doing some shopping and hitting up an arcade in Schaumburg. I'm excited!

Did I tell you guys my dog ate my cookies? That brat! I bought 8 from LBB. The three she ate were the ones ONLY LBB sells! ARR! Needless to say, she was sick for a bit. There was no chocolate, just a lot of sugar and money. $4 a box. Damn scouts. I also picked up 7 boxes from ABC Girl Scouts. They are $3.50 a box. (Note: LBB and ABC are Girl Scout cookie companies. Check out my cookie comparison photos from a few days ago.)

This year has been extraordinarily lucky for me. I feel very fortunate and blessed. Sadly things have not been working out so well for those around me. When I was at Monk's with Frank, he grabbed me by the shoulders and told me those unfortunate events are NOT my fault and I have no reason to feel bad or guilty about it. Yes yes yes.

More news is heading my way in a little over 2 weeks. I'm very excited. My fingers and toes are crossed! I don't want to spoil it for you guys yet. I promise to keep you informed :) I can say it will mark a huge milestone in my life.

(Having all my GS cookies in arm's reach of my desk is a TERRIBLE idea. I just ate 4 Thin Mints, finishing my first roll of the things. GAHH!!)

This a hunting trip with Bing Crosby. The picture also shows Jack and Billy Morton and Jamie Christie (I think) and was taken in the early 1960s on the Milk River Ridge south of Jack Morton’s home place in Warner, Alberta. Actually Jack may be taking the picture, but furthest left is for sure Billy Morton and Jamie is crouched down right in front of Bing.
